The works to renovate the sidewalks and improve accessibility on Calle Venezuela are advancing at a good pace

The works to renovate the sidewalks and improve the accessibility of Venezuela street are advancing at a good pace and within the expected completion period. Some works that cover the section between Honduras and Ricardo Bayona streets have been visited this morning by the mayor Toni Pérez, the councilors of Public Space and Citizen Participation, accompanied by representatives of the neighborhood association of the area.
With this action, the mayor said, "there is gain in pedestrian safety and comfort on a road that gives access to two health centers, the Foietes health center, and the specialty center, and the Ausiàs March school."

Precisely the presence of "these three public buildings means that Avenida Venezuela has a lot of pedestrian traffic, which with this action will benefit from the increase in the size of the sidewalks and the implementation of accessibility improvements." In addition, the asphalting of the area and the renewal of the lighting are also planned, which will become 'led' technology, thus improving lighting conditions and energy efficiency. This lighting renovation is contemplated in the new phase of the energy improvement project financed by the Institute for Energy Diversification and Saving (IDAE).

Toni Pérez specified that the action started last January in the vicinity of Honduras street and will reach the two health centers; and he has clarified that "while the work lasts, the transit of people is being guaranteed."

The mayor insisted on the need to undertake these works to complete the improvement of Venezuela Avenue. Last year, within the Participatory Budget, a roundabout was built to make traffic more agile, also improving the sidewalks in the lower part of this via.
